I'm curious.....
What plecos do you have and what's the tank setups for each species?
I've got the common/regular bushynoses of different variants and they spawn well in the basic 20G, bare tank with a sponge filter at a temp of 72-74F.
My other plecos are too small to spawn right now But hopfully that'll change.

In my 120g I have a:
spotted sailfin (L-83)
albino bristlenose (L-144)
2x Royals (L-027)
King Tiger (L-066)
3x White Seam/Starlight (L-183)
2x Clown (L-103)

with a Rena XP2 and XP4 set up for filtration

In the 75g I have a common plec and a common bristle nose. The 75g is home to a pair of breeding convicts so I don't want too many plecos in there yet. Hopefully I'll find a home for most convicts minus the breeding female in the next month or so. On the 75g I have an XP3 setup for the filter.


I'm new to the whole L# system but I'm 85% certain I got all the right numbers in there.
